DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Random Recollections of an Old Publisher, Vol. 2 of 2 One of the, if not the very last engagement Mr. Toole had at the Gaiety Theatre in the Strand before he went to America might have led to a much more serious misunderstanding than it did. I think I am right in saying that John Hollingshead seldom had written agreements with any of the principal people in the company. His word was his bond; and his word was good for any sum to his staff. Toole's understanding in this particular engagement was that he was to take one-half of the receipts after, I think, seventy pounds per night. Now, on the face of that understanding, it would certainly seem that no mistake could arise, because, if there was not seventy pounds in the house any night, Toole would not receive anything. And it so happened there were nights when the receipts were under seventy pounds; but on Monday and Saturday, at the least, there was nearly double that sum per night.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Random Recollections of an Old Playgoer: A Sketch of Some Old Cork Theatres There's music in the olden song Yea, e'en ecstatic are the tears Which will steal down our smiles among, Roused by the sounds of other years. And truly there are no songs we love like the old songs, even though sometimes our hearts be so full that we cannot sing them. With a deep regard for the art of bygone ages we treasure our household gods, the costly pictures, the hoard of quaint and curious plate, the antique figures in bronze and china, or the sculptured marbles that typify the genius which inspired, and the culture which guided, the handicraft of other and greater ages. Yet, with what deeper feelings are we wont to regard those precious things gathered in the storehouse of the heart, those rare figures niched in the corridors of time that will never fade from our sight till we go down to dumb forgetfulness a prey - forms and faces of the radiant beings whose voices seem to come back to us at times, through the long vista of unforgotten years, in the, tones that erstwhile thrilled us to the heart's core! And memory bridges lightly over the great gulf of time, As the dear notes of some sweet air By lips long silent warbled o'er, Come back to stir the heart once more, And even while grasped are hushed away.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.
